Bethesda is forcing websites to pull unfavorable reviews of Fallout: New Vegas - Games

PC version compared to the PC Fallout 3 is waay less buggy imo, but i agree they need to ditch that crappy engine.

[QUOTE=Nibwoddle;25565449]I fucking hate people calling New Vegas an "expansion" and "should have been DLC". It's the EXACT same formula that sequels have been using for the last 20 years, there's nothing wrong with it at all. I thought the point of a sequel was to be a very similar game with a new story/character(s)/setting and that's exactly what this is + some additional nice extras like ironsights and weapon modding. Half Life 2 did this. Bioshock 2 did this. Ratchet and Clank 2 did this. Mass Effect 2 did this. Guitar Hero 2 did this. Left 4 Dead 2 did this. I could go on. What's the point in completely changing the formula? The only thing that would result in would be EVEN MORE complaining because the game would feel too different and it'd have been a missed oppurtunity due to how good Fallout 3 was. I'm glad they've used and improved the same formula because it worked so fantastically well, and a whole new story/location/quests is so much more than I could have asked for.[/QUOTE] generally sequels have upgraded features (especially engine-wise), but this is pretty much a few new weapons and some new characters it's still fun but it feels like it should be priced as an expansion

I seriously didn't get any bug other than 1 minor bug where a corpse of a mantis went through the ground..... I fail to see any game breaking bug

I got rid of fallout 3 after getting stuck in the game for so many goddamn times I hope this one is different

How the bloody devil can they force them to take the reviews down? Freedom of speech you know.

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;25566069]How the bloody devil can they force them to take the reviews down? Freedom of speech you know.[/QUOTE] If they release a game full of bugs, and outdated engine, you can expect it.

I'm not fucking getting it until they add diagonal walk animations, that's one of the main things I had hoped for but knew wouldn't happen.

Don't let Bethesda fool you, the game is full of bugs.

I personally think that bethesdas use of the same engine over and over is commendable, it shows that they actually care about making [b]games[/b] rather than paintings/tech demos. Although I do hope that New Vegas is the last one with this engine.

I don't understand why people are concerned with the walking animations, just make the thirdperson view close up to your character so you can't see their legs if you really want thirdperson. First person is a much better experience anyway.

I've been playing for hours without any problems.

[QUOTE=Savaril;25560913]It's outdated, poorly optimized, is awful at handling animations. The physics engine is wonky, movement and jumping is clunky. It's just in general very buggy. New Vegas is still brilliant though, if you can overlook the technical flaws it has.[/QUOTE]New Vegas is really well optimised imo, I can get 30 fps easily on medium with an intergrated gpu

[QUOTE=halo4life;25566332]I'm not fucking getting it until they add diagonal walk animations, that's one of the main things I had hoped for but knew wouldn't happen.[/QUOTE] Does it matter?

[QUOTE=The mouse;25574571]New Vegas is really well optimised imo, I can get 30 fps easily on medium with an intergrated gpu[/QUOTE] So optimised I have to use a mod to make the game playable in areas where npcs *might* be because the shitty engine flips a shit and dies over more than one npc on screen.

This game sucks. [highlight] (User was banned for this post: Unfavorable review (Bethesda)) [/highlight]

There's a few too many bugs in the game maybe, but that's not stopping me from having some fucking fun :smug:

[QUOTE=bepassley;25549817]i dont think they read facepunch try somethingawful at least obsidian would read it there[/QUOTE] I wish they did. FP seems reasonably big. :saddowns:

Ignoring bugs, I feel the main campaign surpasses Fallout 3 both in scope and in effect.

Game sucks, seriously the graphics are SEVERELY outdated but still look okay, I can live with that. Its the horrid animations that kill me. I mean come on, all that time and they just re-hashed the same animations, no improvement.

This reminds me of ArmA 2's release. Alot of people said the game sucked because of the horrible bugs, but over time the game has been patched and is way better.

[QUOTE=bepassley;25562205]i dont see whats so unfinished about the game[/QUOTE] I slide when I walk diagonally Please don't say that's unfinished.

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;25582250]I slide when I walk diagonally Please don't say that's unfinished.[/QUOTE] its actually due to engine limitations

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;25582250]I slide when I walk diagonally Please don't say that's unfinished.[/QUOTE] I don't understand why people complain about this, playing in third person view in this game is terrible. I always play first person.
